Hi @Eulerizeit ; thanks for your interest in pg_auto_failover. We don't support every possible option that initdb
offers. What we support instead is that you would initdb
your cluster at your choice of PGDATA location on-disk, and then run pg_autoctl create postgres
on-top of the already existing PGDATA. The command then simply adopts the Postgres cluster and registers it to the monitor, and then manages it.
See https://pg-auto-failover.readthedocs.io/en/master/ref/pg_autoctl_create_postgres.html#description for more details about the different modes of operations of the command.
I was looking through the docs and I can't find a way to enable checksums using the
pg_autoctl create postgres
command. Am I missing this or is there another command / workflow we should be following?
